The name Gleason appears in the town records of Charlestown, Cambridge, Sudbury, Framingham and Oxford, Mass., but there is nothing to indicate their racial identity. The Irish origin of the name Gleason has been disputed by a Massachusetts historical writer, yet the Gleasons, originally O'Glasain or O'Gliasain, a name common in the south of Ireland for centuries, are listed among the ancient Irish families as chiefs of the Barony of Imokilly in the County of Cork, Irish Pedigrees, by John OHart, Vol. 1, p. 808.1 and the motto on their coat of arms is in the Irish language, Lamb Laidir An Uachdar, meaning the strong hand uppermost. Mary, daughter of Thomas and Susanna Gleason , was born at Cambridge on October 31, 1657, and other children mentioned in the records of Middlesex County Vol. 1, p. 158, and Vol. 6, p. 13.2 were Thomas, Joseph, William and John. In 1663, Thomas Gleason (1) leased a farm from a Captain Scarlett at Charlestown. His sons, Thomas and John, located at Sudbury and Thomas bought a tract of land on Gleasons Pond near Framingham, from Benjamin Rice by deed dated September 29, 1673;Middlesex Deeds, Vol. 6, p. 378.3 and according to the genealogy of the Gleasons In History of Framingham, by William Barry, and Genealogical Register in History of Framingham, by J. H. Temple.4 his descendants lived there for at least four generations. John and William Gleason and Philip Gleason served in King Philips War, and Thomas Gleason and his son, Thomas, were listed among the thirty incorporators of the town of Framingham in 1692. John Gleason had land assigned to him at Sherburne, Mass., in 1682, and he was the father of eight children born at that place between 1680 and 1700.New England Historic-Genealogical Register, Vol. 6, p. 246.5
